New for 2010, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/make\/land-rover\/\">Land Rover<\/a> Freelander 2 Sport attempts to be equipped as regally as its name suggests, with either a Santorini Black or Lago Grey paint job decked out with color-keyed exterior trim, a rear spoiler, and 19-inch diamond-turned alloy wheels.<\/p>\n<p>Inside is where the thrills reside, with a two-tone interior in, ahem, &#8220;Ebony &amp; Storm,&#8221; and your choice of cloth interior or a &#8220;sports styling pack&#8221; in Lago Grey leather. Somewhat ironically, the Sport comes with a 2.2-liter diesel four that churns the wheels through a manual transmission, and it gets even better gas mileage with the fitment of stop\/start technology. <\/p>\n<p>The model goes on sale next month and starts at &pound;26,695 ($43,581 USD, but bear in mind that UK market prices are higher than those of the U.S.) on-the-road. No word yet on whether North American consumers will get a shot at this model under the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/model\/lr2\">LR2 nameplate<\/a>, so for now, content yourself with our high-res gallery below and the official press release after the jump.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2010-land-rover-freelander-2-sport\/low\/\">2010 Land Rover Freelander 2 Sport<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2010-land-rover-freelander-2-sport\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/12\/01_lr_freelander2_spt_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2010-land-rover-freelander-2-sport\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/12\/02_lr_freelander2_spt_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2010-land-rover-freelander-2-sport\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/12\/03_lr_freelander2_spt_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2010-land-rover-freelander-2-sport\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/12\/04_lr_freelander2_spt_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\n[Source: Land Rover]<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2009\/12\/17\/land-rover-releases-freelander-2-sport-for-uk-loyalists\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Continue reading <em>Land Rover releases Freelander 2 Sport for UK loyalists<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2009\/12\/17\/land-rover-releases-freelander-2-sport-for-uk-loyalists\/\">Land Rover releases Freelander 2 Sport for UK loyalists<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Thu, 17 Dec 2009 09:58:00 EST.
